The Neighborhood

From impressive sculptures to imprinted sidewalks, quirky benches to inspired bus stops, mosaic lamp posts to pocket gardens, music to theater, literature to movies, and historic architecture to contemporary style, it's a neighborhood designed as a living art experience.

Characterized by both art and the adaptive reuse of existing space, NOTA is home to many of the city's cultural institutions, as well as a variety of unique studios, shops, restaurants, and services supported by the Business Association (NOTABA).

NOTA also offers a mix of housing options from modest to high-end, including single-family Victorians, mansions divided into luxury units, lofts, and modern apartment complexes.
